Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 19.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Locust Bean And Guar Gums spans 29 named brands and is led by the Dairies group. Start with Artichoke & garlic gourmet spreadable cheese, artichoke & garlic; Authentic pub cheese; Better than cream cheese plain when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 95.5/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
29 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 119 of 119 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
